blinker works sometimes..

on my s5 t2 my left blinker works and stops working randomly. some days ill hit the blinker switch and everything will work like normal, other times ill hit the switch and the light on the inside on the cluster and the lights on the front and back wont work. however, even if the lights dont work, the clicking sound that its supposed to make when you turn on blinkers still works. any help w/ what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you have an intermittent break somewhere in the circuit.

In this thread, post #14. If this is your solution it appears you're still at the point where the solder on the weak joint still gives an intermittent connection.

One check would be when it isn't working you could, at the least, jumper the indicated wires and if the lights come on then then you have your problem.

I asked a guy to stand at the back of my car and see if the Flasher was working.

He Yelled out "Yes..NO...Yes..NO..Yes..NO..."

I'm glad that it helped. It appeared as though your connection had enough solder but that it was improperly soldered (too cold?).
